Will this device operate a USB Powered Hard drive so that it can become a file share?

First of all I am having trouble getting it to connect to the internet via my AT&T 3G Velocity Wi-Fi adaptor. As for the rest of the configuration I used, which does work nicely. It wirelessly displays itself, you can attach to it and resources like my external network hard drive, printer, other computers via the HUB. I took the RJ45 connection (made it a LAN connection in the Hame software) to a 4 port HUB, , connected a 2TB network hard drive to it, router wise it works great. The Hame issues the IP address's so a mini network is established, just like at my NY home (FIOS network/wireless router), I am setting this up for use on my floating winter home, a 38' Ketch in Florida. Fact is it works great in every way except I have not been able to connect to the internet through it, yet. I download the latest software from Hame, still have to install and retest. I hope this answers your question.......

No, the USB port is for plugging an additional hard drive into the device for sharing.

Has anyone tried to connect an external HD to the USB port and saved their files?

The usb device would need power such as a cell phone I do not think you can use a usb flash drive

It can me used like any other USB storage device. You can copy files from one machine and move them to another.

It may be plugged in but it needs to be configured in setup.ampedwireless.com. Once into the menu, select "More Settings". There you will see an option for "USB storage" and under that there are two choices: "Local Sharing" and FTP Server". Select "Local Sharing". There make sure the drive is recognized. If it is them make sure the workgroup matches your windows workgroup. If you don"t know what workgroup to assign then see : http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/join-or-create-a-workgroupI hope this helps.

If it's a external hard drive, you cannot because there's not enough power running through the device. But thumb drives and flash drives work fine but beware that they transfer very slowly

Hard to say, but I doubt it. The thing requires a driver to run in Windows, and is recognized as two separate drives.

Yes it can. This is how it is powered when you connect it to a computer to download files.

Yes. It is an easy process and you can swap and copy files at any point. Keep in mind that the external hard drive is powered by the Verbatim MediaShare so you will definitely not want to be in battery mode, or it will eat the battery up.

Yes it will go through the USB or eSATA (preferred) You just format the drive.

You can. Not a feature I have tied yet. USB drive seems to be the best answer and of course you would need to set it up in your setup menu.

Each USB output port can easily handle a USB 3 current load ( which is Greater than USB2 Current load. If your External Drive strictly operates from the USB3( or USB2) data cable that also carries power, it should be able to deliver and operate it. No harm will be done try it. ( Note many External large hard drives also require a separate external DC power connection. Check and refer to your Hard drive manual for it's specification and connections. Good Luck. BobNaz

Yes. Powering the harddrive may be an issue if the harddrive requires power from a separate power plug (ie. other than the data connector plug).

I've only used it as a standalone hard drive copy device, but I believe you can use it as an external hard drive unit too. I'm using Mac OSX

Yes and No...Yes; only if the external drive is a "bare drive" (not in an enclosure)...No; if the hard drive is enclosed in a case.
